San Marino National Day

Press Statement

Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

September 3, 2026

On behalf of the United States of America, I extend warm congratulations to the people of San Marino as you mark your National Day, commemorating the Feast of Saint Marinus and the founding of the world's oldest republic.

San Marino's remarkable endurance, even as the map of Europe was redrawn time and again, speaks to its deep-rooted commitment to liberty, independence, and perseverance.

The friendship between the United States and San Marino remains strong, grounded in a mutual respect for sovereignty and the right of nations to determine their own path. We look forward to deepening this partnership in the years to come.

On this occasion, the United States stands with you in celebration, extending best wishes for a joyful Feast of Saint Marinus and lasting prosperity in the years ahead.
